Recollections – Philip Jones Griffiths
Trolley are proud to announce the much-anticipated new book of Philip Jones Griffiths, 'Recollections.' Renowned as the foremost photographer of the Viet Nam conflict, 'Recollections' presents work much closer to home, of Britain in the 1950s onwards. From coal miners in Wales, the Beatles in Liverpool to soldiers in Northern Ireland and anti-war protests on the streets of London.
£39.99 | Members Price: £35.00
Viet Nam at Peace – Philip Jones Griffiths
No one has charted the misfortunes of the innocent people caught up in the Viet Nam war as Philip Jones Griffiths. In just a few images he could manage to capture the destruction reaped upon the country and its inhabitants, and lucidly make sense of the atrocious injustices that afflicted both men, women and children. Like holding a mirror to the conscience of the invaders.
£40 | Members Price: £30.00
Purple Hearts: Back from Iraq - Signed Copy – Nina Berman
A Purple Heart, the honour given to soldiers for their wounds, is one that many cling to when faced with the realities of both the return home and their time at war. Accompanying the images are first person interviews with the soldiers as they discuss why they enlisted and their experiences in Iraq, as well as their lives now and the prospect of living as disabled veterans.

MARK BLANCO
The tragic death of Mark Blanco at the beginning of December brutally cut the life of a brilliant man and dear friend. Mark was a vital part of many peoples' lives, who now want to have it made transparent exactly what took him so tragically away. His profound intelligence coupled with humility, creativity and above all humour, touched many. Always appearing with something to give or show or share, from a steak in his pocket to a rare book, magic trick or just to dip in and out of his vast knowledge of so many things, Mark was a unique spirit, whose untimely death has left many deepely saddened. He will be missed.

PATTI SMITH PERFORMS HER SONG FOR LEBANON
On Sunday 26th November Trolley was honoured when Patti Smith spoke about and performed her song on Lebanon, Qana. This was the town in the south of the country which was attacked during the conflict of summer 2006, resulting in the deaths of many civilians, many of whom were children. Patti Smith's performance followed the opening of the exhibition at Trolley Gallery of Polaroids taken by Patti of objects and places inspired by poets and writers, entitled Sur les Traces. She had donated them to help raise funds and awareness of a forthcoming book Trolley is publishing on the Israel and Lebanon conflict of 2006, featuring the photographs of Magnum photographer Paolo Pellegrin.

Chechnya: Research Shows Widespread and Systematic Use of Torture
Human Rights Watch said that its documentation of more than a hundred cases of torture, taken together with research conducted by leading Russian human rights groups, strongly suggests that torture in Chechnya is commonplace. Human Rights Watch also said that this finding, together with de facto impunity for torturers, strongly suggests a widespread and systematic practice of torture in Chechnya.
